"Abdul-Ghani is an indispensable member of Zamalek squad," assistant coach Mohamed Helmi told t the club's official website.

"He produced brilliant displays since his arrival three years ago. We should keep him here."

"The financial details and the duration of the deal will be revealed in the coming few days when the board hold its meeting."

The diminutive midfielder joined Zamalek from Arab Contractors in 2005 after contributing to the latter's Egyptian Cup triumph.

He was promising in his early days with Zamalek but his progress was hampered by a succession of injuries.
